• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: How far must we go as a Government in discriminating against people from the coastal region? I was shocked because if the excuse now is that the youth have not gone to school and learnt the English language, what about the incident that was brought to the attention of the House yesterday, where somebody had applied for a job of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO); he is from the Coast, he is qualified, becomes number one after the interview and then he is left out? view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we were to talk honestly and be serious as leaders, there is somebody somewhere who systematically wants to discriminate against the Coastal people. I think it is not fair. If the President of this country is listening to us and watching this debate, this should be a wakeup call. This is because you cannot be talking about putting the country together, unifying this country and supporting the youth of this country, when somebody working for your Government is very systematically trying to discriminate against the youth of Mombasa. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, even if you want to get people to work in these ships, some of these people from the Coast, you can never swim better than them. They have some of the lifetime skills; they do not need English. I do not know whether this matter is being referred to the Committee on Roads and Transportation, but the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration should pick this issue of what is happening in Mombasa against the coastal people and get a report in this House. It is not fair. Even if it were me, I ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Senator for Nyamira, I identify with the Coast and the coastal people, and we must send a strong statement to the Government that this discrimination should come to an end. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: I support. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a matter that is really important to the economy of this country. We came up with the Competition Authority of Kenya because we wanted to encourage competition among players in the market. If you follow the history of this country, there are so many players that have tried to set up shop in Kenya. Nonetheless, word out there is that Kenya Breweries will never give them room to operate. They come with very unfair business practices in the market to ensure they kick any competition out of the market. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: You know the case of the South African company Castle Lager that tried to set up shop here but because of unfair business practices by Kenya Breweries, they closed shop and left the country. I have been reading the newspapers about a local company called Keroche and they also point fingers towards unfair practices from Kenya Breweries. It serves the economy if we allow many players to set up shop, and that way, we create more employment opportunities for our people. If we allow one player to be a monopoly in the market, it is the same people in employment ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: country but it is not serving national interest. I pray that the Committee tasked with looking into this matter can go to the bottom of it and summon the Competition Authority, to come here and tell us what they have done to ensure that the market becomes even and attractive to other players who want to join it. view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the statement by Sen. Malalah. If we were to be honest with ourselves as leaders, the truth is that the situation is getting out of hand. IF we continue relying on the CEOs in our counties called governors we will watch as our people continue to die. We are living a lie and that is the truth of the matter. view
